In hindsight, I cannot believe I didn’t know the fate of Cedric Diggory when I first read the Harry Potter books. I was an incredibly late bloomer with the series (I read all of them after my Sophomore year of college), and when I started The Sorcerer’s Stone, the only characters whose doomed fate I …

This is the time of the year I wish that Hogwarts was real. Could you imagine how rad Hogsmeade would be in the thick of October? I want to sip pumpkin-spiced Butterbeer in a cable knit sweater with my friends on a misty fall day, and I want it now. Maybe Hogwarts is hosting a …

Oliver Wood is one of my favorite Harry Potter characters. He’s one of the few realistic depictions of a kid we all know in high school that we see in the series. Everybody knew (or was) the kid who was so into their sport or extracurricular activity that they could rarely talk about everything else. …
